I have a 150t and I absolutely love it. It still surprises me with its ability. Used it to take down a silver birch last week stem was 12 inch or so and the saw coped very well. Only used it as the chocolate bar on the husky is pooped and waiting new 1. Great for pruning jobs and reductions Sent from my SM-N9005 using Arbtalk mobile app

I have to send my bar back to jonsie for them to look at and then they will send me a replacement under warranty but now the saw is out of use. Mountain man you may have a point may just order one today and have a spare bar wen my replacement arrives Sent from my SM-N9005 using Arbtalk mobile app

I'm going to ring jonsie again today and find out where I stand on the matter but I don't want another as you say stubby 'chocolate bar' Sent from my SM-N9005 using Arbtalk mobile app

I'm hoping it's covered under warranty dan. Can you let us know how the oregon bar holds up please. I don't use my saw everyday, think I have done 5 trees with it Sent from my SM-N9005 using Arbtalk mobile app

Mornin fellas. I noticed this thread yesterday and I am in the same boat as you are dan494. My t540xp chucked 2 chains on Saturday and I couldn't figure out what was wrong. Until I read your post and saw the picture then this morning I looked at my bar. It has exactly the same problem it is splitting apart!! Have rang FR jones and son and told them and I have to send them pictures of the bar Sent from my SM-N9005 using Arbtalk mobile app

Morning all I tipped the bed on my 07 reg double cab transit tipper this morning and while pressing the button the bed went up 3 n 1/2 rams but would not go up any more just kept making a squealing sort of noise. Any one shed abit of light on this?? I'm new to the tipper scene Thanks Sent from my SM-N9005 using Arbtalk mobile app

I think it's the chain to be honest because it wasn't cutting straight and compared the chain that was on it to the new chain I bought and there is a massive difference so going to chuck the crap one out Sent from my SM-N9005 using Arbtalk mobile app

Evening lads. Just set the auto tune on the t540xp, went through a load of ash and old cherry. Really impressed with the throttle response and the power!! The only thing I'm a bit worried about is the amount of blue smoke coming from the bar and chain it was pouring out!! And I think the chain is crap aswel so going to swap that for the oregon one I bought. Could the smoke be oil residue burning off?? The saw is oiling I did check a number of times.

Morning all, over the weekend I treated myself to the t540 and was wondering if you need to set the auto tune like the book says?? I have a 550 and I just started it up first time I used it and cracked on with it, it's been bullet proof. Does it really need to be set first use? Thanks Sent from my SM-N9005 using Arbtalk mobile app
-
Oh ok good advice Barry thanks, I'm still starting out in the tree business so don't do trees everyday yet so think I will treat myself to the t540. Also in your video you posted the other day what lowering kit do you use? Sent from my SM-N9005 using Arbtalk mobile app

Morning guys, I'm in the market for a new top handled saw since a very nasty guy I used to work for screwed me over and took my 200t. Looking at the t540xp, have already got a 550xp and absolutely love it. Was wondering what people's views are on the t536 lxi battery top handled saw and weather it's worth switching to battery just yet?? Thanks guys Sent from my SM-N9005 using Arbtalk mobile app

Morning guys This question has been asked many times but after some help I'm now looking at re doing my transit tipper body. I have a crew cab with wood sides on the bed at the moment and it's completely rotted out and fallen apart, so now wanting to get it done in ally. After some help and advice with companies that build bodies. Looked at britt tipp and they want astromical price for the bed. I'm really after some one to remove the bed and build an ally chip box on the rear Thanks lads Sent from my SM-N9005 using Arbtalk mobile app

I bought a 550xp in 2012 and I absolutely love it. I had a problem with warm starting but returned it to fr jones and they rectified the problem with a new fuel system I believe, other than that it's good as gold and I love it more and more every time I use it Sent from my SM-N9005 using Arbtalk mobile app
